Dr. Greer is also a frequent political commentator on several media outlets, primarily MSNBC, WNYC, and NY1, and is often quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and the AP.

This program will explore how racial diversity changed the airline industry, through the stories of African American employees.

Produced in collaboration with Dr. Sheila Nutt, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion scholar and founder of The Pan Am Blackbirds, this program will explore how the Civil Rights movement and the call for racial diversity and gender equity impacted the airline industry.

“Civil Rights, Race, and Gender Equity: Pan Am’s Diversity in Flight” is a humanities panel discussion that will be the first part of a series of programs and museum exhibits around the topic of cultural diversity, race, and gender equity within Pan American World Airways. The airline employed people of color from all over the world representing numerous nations and cultures throughout its 64-year history.

This event is made possible through a grant from Humanities New York and the National Endowment of the Humanities.
